walking with my beloved, Selene the Titan

i love being able to actually stare at my dear goddess

[bodhi-devotee]

anything i post or reblog is done with the understand that it resonates with me, and if someone else doesn’t agree that doesn’t mean their practice is invalid!

reminder for all my helpols out there!

only you and the gods can control your practice. it’s ok to not pray or offer everyday. it’s ok to have periods of doubt or where you just feel less religious. that’s normal. if anyone is judging you for how, when, or how often you pray or practice, politely and respectfully tell them to shut up, then ignore them. they aren’t worth the energy or time.

may the gods bless yall and remember to drink water

being a Helios worshipper means getting to actually see your god every day. as humans, it’s easier to bond with Him if we imagine Him like us. the depictions of Him in a human body are lovely—but at the end of the day, i literally worship the huge star this planet orbits. i wave good morning to Him and good night every day and i can because being Helios worshipper is the best.

been asking Zeus and Apollon to aid me as i study cloud divination! it will be a long journey but im so excited— this post reminded me i hadn’t put that on my blog!

Different Types of Clouds in Witchcraft ☁️

Clouds, with their ever-changing shapes and movements, hold a special place in the realm of witchcraft that can easily be overlooked! Each type of cloud carries its own energy and symbolism, reflecting different aspects of our magical practice.

By attuning ourselves to the energies of different cloud types, we can deepen our connection to nature and the elements in our magical practice!

"New Yorkers bite more people than sharks annually" is an excellent example of how statistics can be misleading. Like yeah no shit, do you have any idea how rare it is to even encounter a shark in the wild? They're not exactly urban animals. I'm pretty damn sure that if sharks were living in big cities like pigeons, just strolling down the streets looking for food scraps, you'd see a lot more news stories about New Yorkers biting them.

oh yeah this dude commented on my shit i just blocked him. remember blocking people is quick, easy, free, and who gives a fuck if they get mad about it they’re blocked

God Poser

okay theres this dude. Please block him

@/cryp7ik

Who's claiming to be all the male gods from all the pantheons and all the myths. He's been interacting with a whole lotta people, including my one post on how my deities talk to me through music where he claimed to have sent me a message via music (I got nothing so like. No- also. Deities can't use social media last time I checked) and me and my bestie decided to talk to him. So my friend gets a lot of messages from/is a prophet of Apollon and Artemis. They both have confirmed this dude isn't Apollon at all (not that we really needed it tbh-) and this guy decided that my friend was getting messages via Reddit??? My friend is infact not- he's also called people dumb for not believing that he is the male gods from every pantheon ever. Don't let him bully you into anything. This is stupid. Just block him

For beginners: I know this probably doesn't need to be said, but your deities MAY Influence your social media feed. Anyone saying they ARE the gods on social media is such a Fake on so many levels. Please ignore and block anyone saying things like that!

In Praise of Zeus

O Zeus, high ruler of the heavens, your breath moves the winds, your voice shakes the earth.

All things rise and fall beneath your will.

You hold the sky in balance, the storm obeys your hand.

Justice is your gift, and those who stray feel your power.

Yet in your strength, there is wisdom.

You guard the oath, protect the guest, and watch the steps of mortals.

O mighty father, whose throne is built on thunder,

look upon us with steady eyes and grant peace where there is struggle, order where there is chaos, and strength when we falter.

[bodhi-devotee]

i’ve been thinking about and praying to Zeus fondly lately. this puts into words why— the god of kings and power is proud of me for providing for my family!!! i think of it when i clock in every day

I am extremely soft when it comes to Zeus’s household cults. There is something so deeply tender about the King of gods and humans existing as a personal protector of the courtyard, pantry, and children.

[bodhi-devotee]

even if you aren’t fully sure you believe in the Theoi, i doesn’t hurt to practice worship!

*grabs you and shakes you but gently cause I love you* you do not need to be ‘called’ to worship the gods. Just worship. Please just worship if it is what your heart wants.

[bodhi-devotee]

it reminds me of a quote about Apollon by percy shelley: “I am the eye with which the universe beholds itself and knows it is divine.”

this is why worshipping Apollon has made me a better buddhist. the noble truths ask us to abandon our ignorance to the nature of life; the dharma tells us to have ‘right view’, which cannot be achieved without embracing light. we must shine light on our ignorance, and Apollon has held my hand through this process.

also your comparison to Helios makes me so happy as someone who worships both those deities separately! so often they are mashed into one singular divinity. Helios is the sun in the literal sense, and Apollon is the sun of intellect, art, and harmony upon mankind.

Apollon to me is the great font of light, the banisher of not just the sicknesses of the body and mind but the sickness of ignorance. His command of the divine choir of the Mousai is to the minds of men what the rays of Helios are to the plants that spring forth from mother Gaia.

Sokrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. What examination can be done in the dark?

ITS ME IM WOLFE

“If we follow the wolf further we find Apollo. We learn that Aristotle's school of philosophy was called the Lyceum, that is the "wolf-place," because it was located in a district in the valley close to Athens in a gymnasium attached to a temple of Apollo and called after the wolf (Greek: λύκος), because that animal was closely associated with him.”

- Daniel Gershenson, Apollo: The Wolf God
